A minibus carrying women and men, some of whom belong to an extremist ultra-Orthodox faction, was stopped today (Tuesday) after explosive devices were seized that were allegedly intended to cause damage to infrastructure during the celebration at the Har Meron complex.

The suspects were arrested and taken for questioning.



In the minibus, four sacks full of locomotives, Japanese knives, hammers, colored eggs, and gloves were seized.

According to the suspicion, these were intended to be used to sabotage the communications infrastructure, the announcement, and the screens set up for the use of the Meron celebration at a cost of millions of shekels.
